When was the last time someone unexpectedl

题目内容：

When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you ? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.

A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.

When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “ Your meal was already paid for .” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you .” It felt like an angel was saying “I see you, honey. It’s going to be okay.”

Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 1 mile to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie? Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.

I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these?

最佳答案：

小题1:A

小题2:D

小题3:D

答案解析：

文章大意：作者通过她在饭店吃饭时的一次经历及跑马拉松的一次经历，告诉我们，陌生人对她的帮助和鼓励，能驱散她心中的阴霾，令她精神振奋。在她需要帮助的时候，陌生人对她伸出了援手，这令她感觉那些陌生人就是天使。

小题1:主旨大意题。文章的开头以两个问句来开启读者的思维，同时告知读者，她下文将要谈的内容，是她所经历的两件事，两件陌生人给她以帮助和鼓励的事例。这两个事例是作者用来佐证她两个问句中想要表达的内容的，即陌生人出乎意料地为你做了善事。由此可知答案选A。

小题2:细节理解题。第二段“I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship.”从broken heart 破碎的心；my last relationship可以猜到她的上一段感情结束了，她很伤心。

小题3:词义猜测题。从前面一句：I was out of gas.及后面一句：I thought I couldn’t move another inch.可以推知。作者当时是跑马拉松的，她说她out of gas应该是指她如同一辆汽车没油了，而后面一句说她一步也跑不动了，可以确认此处是说她没有精力再跑下去了。因此选D。
